zod-patterns
by mx-spaceMX Space project Zod schema patterns. Apply when creating DTOs, validation schemas, or handling request validation.
mx-review
by mx-spaceReview code for MX Space project conventions. Checks NestJS patterns, Drizzle ORM repositories, Zod schemas, API design, etc.
mx-migration-author
by mx-spaceAuthor and review Drizzle SQL migrations safely for rolling deploys. Triggers when editing apps/core/src/database/schema/*.ts or apps/core/src/database/migrations/*.sql, when the user runs drizzle-kit generate, when "lint-migrations" reports a violation, or on prompts like "迁移", "改 schema", "alter table", "add a column", "drop column", "migration safety". Enforces the expand-contract pattern because mx-core ships rolling deploys (Dokploy, 2 replicas) where new and old pods coexist for tens of seconds during cutover.
mx-pg-controller-migration
by mx-spaceUse when verifying and porting an mx-core controller (Post/Note/Page/Comment/Category/etc.) after the MongoDB→PostgreSQL cutover, or when its data shape no longer matches what api-client and admin-vue3 expect. Triggers on "校验 controller"、"check controller"、"迁移 controller"、"修复迁移后的接口"、"data missing after PG migration"、"related/category 字段丢了" and similar.
mxs-cli-ai-author
by mx-spaceUse when an agent must inspect, draft, validate, edit, publish, unpublish, delete, or configure mx-space content through packages/cli or the mxs binary.
run-test
by mx-spaceRun tests. Supports running all tests, single file, or pattern-matched tests.
api-conventions
by mx-spaceMX Space API design conventions. Apply when writing controllers, API endpoints, or handling HTTP requests.
create-e2e-test
by mx-spaceCreate E2E test file for a specified module. Use when adding end-to-end tests for controllers or unit tests for services and repositories.
release-core
by mx-spaceUse when releasing mx-core server (apps/core), @mx-space/api-client, or @mx-space/cli (mxs) — version bump, changelog, git tag, Docker build, GitHub Release, and Dokploy redeploy. Triggers on "发版", "release a new version", "cut a release", "bump version", "publish api-client", "publish cli", "release mxs".
create-module
by mx-spaceCreate a new NestJS module with repository, service, controller, schema, and Drizzle table definition. Use when adding new feature modules, API endpoints, or business domains.
admin-page-layout
by mx-spaceMandatory layout convention for admin-vue3 pages. Apply when creating any new admin view, refactoring a page that uses tabs/full-width tables, or designing UI for new admin features. Triggers on "new admin page", "admin UI", "admin view", "管理面板新页面", "build dashboard page", "admin layout", or any task adding a screen under apps/admin/src/views/.
mx-admin-ui-primitives
by mx-spaceUse when building any UI in mx-admin-next — composing pages, drawers, modals, forms, scroll containers, or any view-level interaction. Establishes the canonical primitive set, the css.ts + token rules, the mandatory `<Scroll>` rule for user-scrollable regions, and the `@tanstack/react-form + zod + Form/FormField` form pattern. Read before writing JSX in `src/pages`, `src/layouts`, or `src/components` outside the primitives layer.

Explore the agent skills ecosystem by occupation and creator
SkillMD is not just a keyword search box. It is an open map that organizes public skills by occupation, creator, and repository, helping you see which workflows, judgment criteria, and domain habits people are writing for AI agents.
Then follow creators and GitHub repositories back to the source: compare the skills a team maintains, whether the repo is active, and how the README frames the work before you open, install, or reuse anything.
Use it three ways: learn an unfamiliar field by occupation, study how creators organize skills, then use source context to decide what is worth opening or reusing.
01 Map a field
Browse 23 occupation groups and 867 SOC roles to learn what skills exist in adjacent domains and how they break down real work.
02 Follow creators
Use creator and repository pages to inspect maintained skill collections, recent updates, and source context before trusting a result.
03 Search with sources
Search 1.7M+ collected skills, then use occupation tags, creators, and GitHub source context to decide what is worth opening.
Start with the occupation map, then follow creators and repositories back to real code. SkillMD helps explain why a skill is worth opening, not only what it is named.
Standardizing Agent Capabilities with SKILL.md and Model Context Protocol (MCP)
In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, LLM agents (Large Language Model agents) have transitioned from simple text predictors to autonomous problem solvers. To orchestrate complex, multi-step agentic workflows, developers require a standardized format to specify agent capabilities, prompt instructions, system rules, and database bindings. This is where SKILL.md and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) have emerged as standard developer paradigms. SkillMD serves as the central directory for indexing, exploring, and sharing these critical agent configurations.
Our open-source registry currently tracks over 1.7 million collected SKILL.md configurations and system prompts. By compiling agent configurations from active developers on GitHub, we bridge the gap between prompt engineering research and production execution. Whether you are building agents with Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI's GPT-4, Google's Gemini, or local models using Ollama and LlamaIndex, standardized skill definitions ensure your agents behave predictably across different runtime environments.
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard designed to connect LLMs to data sources, developer tools, and external environments. MCP establishes a bidirectional communication channel between client applications (like Cursor, Claude Desktop, or custom agent systems) and servers hosting data or capabilities. Standardizing instructions via SKILL.md enables LLMs to query databases, read local files, execute terminal commands, and integrate third-party APIs. SkillMD allows you to find ready-to-run MCP servers and prompt instructions for various occupations and technical tasks.
The Structure of a Professional SKILL.md File
A valid SKILL.md configuration is designed to be easily read by humans and parsed by LLMs. It contains precise system instructions, trigger conditions, required parameters, and execution examples. Below is the typical architectural blueprint of a professional agent skill:
- Metadata & Core Scope: Declares the name of the skill, author details, target models, and a description of the capability.
- Triggers & Intent Detection: Details semantic triggers that help the agent decide when to invoke this skill.
- System Prompts: Explicit system-level instructions that direct the agent's behavior, personality, safety guardrails, and formatting preferences.
- Capabilities & Tools: Lists the files, databases, or APIs the agent must access to complete the tasks.
- Few-Shot Examples: Demonstrates real inputs and outputs, helping the model generalize behavior through in-context learning.
Optimizing Agent Workflows for Modern LLMs
Writing effective agent skills requires deep knowledge of prompt engineering. With the release of advanced reasoning models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet, ChatGPT o1, and DeepSeek-V3, prompt templates must focus on structured thinking. Developers are encouraged to use XML tags (e.g., <thought>, <context>, and <rules>) to isolate execution boundaries. Standardized prompts prevent agents from suffering from context drift, ensuring that long-running tasks remain aligned with the initial system parameters.
Exploring by SOC Occupations and Creator Profiles
What makes SkillMD unique is its taxonomy. Instead of simple text search, we parse and organize files according to the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. This means you can discover skills written for Computer and Mathematical roles, Business and Financial operations, Legal, Design, and and Educational Instruction fields. By tracking creator profiles, developers can study how different teams organize their custom instructions, compare version updates, and fork public configs for specialized enterprise use cases.
SkillMD operates as a high-performance index running on a fast Go backend and a highly responsive Astro SSR frontend. All search queries execute in milliseconds, featuring smart debouncing to prevent multiple API requests while keeping user data secure.
